Seemingly taking inspiration from Square Enix, Sony have begun to dabble more in the field of smartphone shovelware by rebooting the classic Arc the Lad and Wild Arms franchises, albeit rebuilding them on a lesser scale by using the income generating platform that is the common smartphone, and bound to “destroy” yet more childhoods in the process.

The Final Fantasy VII remake collaboration event for Mobius Final Fantasy has made its return, allowing players to tide over their desires for the highly coveted remake by way of Square Enix’s micro-transaction riddled smartphone game – which has also recently been made available for the PC.

The Sankaku App, now in Black, White, Idol and genderfluid editions, has had its Android iteration updated to 2.2 with a release that brings numerous performance enhancements and vastly improved support for all the saucy SFM and MMD videos the Internet is awash with these days.

An animated trailer for Star Ocean: Anamnesis has been generating positive opinions for its outstanding quality, whilst even making some viewers desperately desire a Star Ocean anime as a result – as opposed to a smartphone title that will likely be rife with overpriced micro-transactions.

Long-running arcade title Star Horse Pocket will soon be making its way to mobile, in the form of a horse racing simulator that will now also feature 5 cute girls to serve as the player’s secretaries (each designed by Tony Taka) and may possibly cause more helpless individuals to become corrupted by the addictive world of gambling.

Traumatic magical girl series Madoka Magica has shown fans that the series is still very much alive with this new collaboration for smartphone game Chain Chronicle, which allows players to gather up their favorite magical girls in the form of cards, sure to be a worthwhile incentive (even for those who have never played the game).

Japan’s record for Pokemon Go related deaths has unfortunately increased as an Aichi driver’s Pokemon catching antics has taken the life of a 9-year-old youth, with more tragedies sure to come should the game continue to maintain its popularity and its players their wantonness.

An announcement for the rather ancient Zoids franchise has come in the form of “Zoids: Field of Rebellion“, a mobile phone game that will supposedly be of the hugely popular “MOBA” genre and which has already caused negative backlash from fans – likely due to the title being released for mobile phones and “copying” an already overly abundant genre.

Smartphone RPG Fate/Grand Order has gotten into the Halloween spirit with its seasonal event, introducing a plethora of new items, quests, characters and of course, luscious illustrations of the game’s fabulous girls in costumes – certain to convince perverse otaku into playing.

Twitter has become overwhelmed by yet another bizarre fad known as the “Tawawa Challenge” (inspired by illustration series Getsuyoubi no Tawawa), which tests a participant’s ability to balance a smartphone (or other palm-sized objects) atop their chest and likely serving as a convenient excuse for well-endowed women to show off their bountiful assets.
